Ruthless Consistency!

Ruthless Consistency

The notion that ideas must be promoted & old ones challenged explains to a significant degree, the evolution of science and paradigm shifts taking all across the globe. Unfortunately, this perceived notion does not characteristically explain the behavior and choices that people make every single day. The question is: Why don’t people learn from their poor choices? Why people don’t keep themselves consistent? Why they give in to some temporary situations so easily when they are on the verge of realizing their true potential? And what can they really do about it?

And matter of fact, I’m not just talking about consistency in your perseverance attitude to achieve your lucrative goals but also in terms of cognitive behaviors, actions & commitments.

The Psychology of Inconsistency

Ruthless Consistency

Have you ever met with a person who was doing very well with his life but after a  few years, you meet him and he does not stand on your expectations? You would probably have that if this person could have just continued to work the way he did before, he must have been at a far better position right now than he is. The moment you say one thing but do another – you are bound to be fragile on others trust and more importantly  -  your own trust i.e. your self-confidence. Sometimes what makes life challenging for you after a great frame of time spent well in the past is just inconsistent act!

The simple truth is that you do not become a master of your work unless you are ready to sabotage or sacrifice some of the things that are precious to you like your leisure time. It’s that simple! What differentiates a world-champion from a spectator is CONSISTENCY! You may not be getting the results that you want, you might not be getting appreciated for what you do, you might not feel good while you do it. But the principle is that, if you keep hammering on it every single day, there will come a day when you will reap the benefits of what you sowed.

Ruthless Consistency

This is what I call the SEED Principle. When you sow a seed in the ground, you don’t expect a tree with fruits. Do you? Matter of fact, you know that it takes time for a seed to become a fruit-bearing tree. Even after knowing all this, you bury it in the ground, water it every day, give it some sunlight and a day comes when it fully manifests itself into a tree. The same principle holds true for you as well. You might not be observing any progress in what seems painful to you, but if you keep watering that desire, it manifests itself and then comes the day when the results show up. Your consistency is the key for great progress even though it may be small & steady. Remember the Kaizen concept? Share your thoughts!
